Chuck & Drilling
Physical & Build
The DCD706 is DeWalt's 12V XR brushless sub-compact hammer drill, the lightest combi here at just 0.85kg bare, drilling 25mm in wood with a 10mm chuck. It is built for overhead and one-handed work where an 18V drill is too heavy, trading outright power for size. We rate it an excellent second drill, or a primary for light trades like electricians and kitchen fitters; for heavier drilling, step up to the 18V DCD805.
